SHAPE-SHIFTING SKELETON

I WAS TALKING TO A SKELETON NAMED HE WHO CANNOT BE NAMED BONES WHEN HE SAID:

"A SKELE-TON OF MOVEMENTS, ONCE I WAS A FISH BONES, ONCE A SINGLE CELL, BUT IF I AM TO BE KEPT A BONES LIKE THIS," SKELE POINTED TO HIS PEARLY WHITE BONES, "YOU WOULD KILL ME. WHAT AM I?"

I REPLY TO THIS BONES "I DUNNO, A SKELETON?"

"THAT'S NOT RIGHT AT ALL! LISTEN CLOSELY, LITTLE BONE," THIS BONE SAY. "ONE CAN CONJECTURE HOW HIS SKELETON WALKS DOWN TO EVERY

LITTLE BONE FIBRE AND DETAIL, BUT IF THIS BONE WERE TO OPERATE LIKE THAT, A BONE COULDN'T WALK. THERE ARE MANY WHO TALK SOME TALK AND STUMBLE ALL THE SAME! USELESS!" BONE CRIED.

"THANKS BONE." I SAYS TO BONE.

WITH A KIND LITTLE WAVE, THIS SKELETON CREAKED AWAY, MORPHING INTO A THOUSAND NOVEL SHAPES WITH EACH STEP. WHAT A COOL SKELETON. I WASN'T EVEN SCARED, GUYS.

THAT BONE ENCOUNTER OVER WITH, THERE WAS NOW ANOTHER BONES AND THIS BONE WAS NAMED DEAD TREE BONE! UH OH, HE HAD A BONE TO PICK WITH ME:

"YOU WILL NOT LIFT A BONE OUT OF MY BONY SHELL, I AM SKELETON AND YOU MUST LISTEN TO ME. IT IS DECREED, THOU WILT PLACE PURCHASE IN ARCHAIC BONE FOREVER. HAHAHAHAH!!!!"

"SKELETON, NO. WILL NOT WORK, BONE. INEFFECTIVE, BONE. YOU ARE A BONE WHO LOSES FLEXIBLE CALCIUM WITH EACH YEAR, BONE." I REPLIED IN A WAY THIS SKELE COULD UNDERSTAND.

"I AM A SKELETON AND YOU MUST LISTEN TO ME!" THIS BONE CACKLED UNRELENTINGLY.

JUST THEN I SAW THIS BONE LOSE A FRAGMENT OF BONE FROM ITS SKELE--IT APPEARED SPEAKING TO THIS BONE WAS ERODING IT, WHICH WAS HELLA SCARY.

"BONE, YOU NEED TO LIVE TO BUILD ENAMEL, BONE. THIS IS BAD FOR BONE. BONE. YOU ARE SKELETON AND I MUST LISTEN TO YOU, BONE," I SAYS TO BONE, HOPING A SKELE WOULD UNDERSTAND. IF BONE COULDN'T GRASP THIS, THERE WAS LITTLE HOPE FOR THIS BONE'S FUTURE.

JUST THEN DEAD TREE BONES TURN TO ME AND DO A CREAK CREAK OF GREAT INTENSITY:

"I AM A SKELETON AND YOU MUST LISTEN TO ME!"

I LEFT THAT BONE ALONE AND WALKED ON, FEELING THE BREEZE AND BEING WITHOUT BONES IN MY LINE OF SIGHT. IT WAS A RELIEF AFTER ALL THAT SPOOKYNESS. THIS SKELE WAS FAR TOO MECHANICAL. A BONE WAS NOT GOING TO BE FRUITFUL THIS WAY.
